Much speculation exists over who will become Colorado's next U.S. attorney to president-elect Barack Obama. It is unlikely that Colorado’s current U.S. attorney, Troy Eid, will continue in that role. However, neither Sen. Ken Salazar, who would be charged with submitting recommendations for Eid's successor, nor his spokesperson will not disclose the possibilities.
Yet rumors fly about the replacement. Several names have been mentioned as possible candidates for Colorado U.S. attorney: among them is Holland & Hart's Michael Carrigan.
Carrigan is a former Denver deputy district attorney. When asked about the position, Carrigan told PolitickerCO.com early this month, “It’s something I’m seriously considering, and (it’s) flattering to have some people mentioning my name.”
